The Jersey OSHA Violations are a Golly team from New Jersey. The OSHA Violations were the last of the original 16 Golly teams to make the playoffs, in Season 5 of the Hellmouth Cup, earning them the nickname The Bear Cubs of Golly. The OSHA Violations went on to become infamous for their lack of postseason success in the Hellmouth Cup and Toroidal Cup.

The OSHA Violations championship drought, attributed to the Curse of the Silly Goat, lasted for 45 seasons. The Curse of the Silly Goat was unexpectedly broken in Season 1 of the Rainbow Cup, when the OSHA Violations mounted a surprise comeback to win the first-ever Rainbow Cup championship.

The Jersey OSHA Violations have a tradition of getting blackout drunk before playoffs games. This has led to the use of the term Jersey Courage to refer to courage gained from intoxication with alcohol.

Team Character

The Jersey OSHA Violations are sticklers for rules, and love processes, procedures, and paperwork. They can find ambiguities in nearly everything, burrowing like termites into the truth until it is so full of holes it is impossible to tell up from down.

OSHA Violations Legal Team

While it is not their principal claim to fame, the Jersey OSHA Violations have a world-class legal team of experienced and credentialed lawyers. Accidental Dismemberment, a famous Hellmouth trial lawyer, is the team's lead counsel, and offers legal consulting for other Golly teams in any effort to erode the power of the Commissioner's Office.

During the Hellmouth Cup Season 3 Fixing Scandal, the Jersey OSHA Violations Legal Team did pro bono work representing the Golly Players Union in their bid for the right to retire.

The events of the Season 3 Fixing Scandal and subsequent drought of postseason appearances by the OSHA Violations have led some fans to speculate that the Jersey OSHA Violations had a hex placed on their database entries by the Golly Legal Office in retaliation for the Jersey OSHA Violations Legal Team's pro bono work. However, most fans readily acknowledged that the real reason the Jersey OSHA Violations struggled in the postseason is because they kind of sucked.

Lavish Stadium

The Jersey OSHA Violations stadium is a lavish, state-of-the-art facility featuring:

• 47 steakhouses
• Seats with built-in butt-warmers
• Roof constructed of rare beryllium permanganate crystalline structure that had to be grown in zero gravity
• Dozens of hot tubs in the club locker rooms
• A sports car museum, closed to the public, featuring thousands of sports cars stored in an underground salt mine deep beneath the stadium (allegedly)

The OSHA Violations are the only team that consistently comes in above-budget despite being ranked last in attendance.

OSHA Violations in the Hellmouth Cup

Anti-Rivalry with Seattle Sneakers

The Seattle Sneakers and Jersey OSHA Violations initially bonded during the Hellmouth Cup through their mutual interest in legal action against the San Francisco Boat Shoes . The two teams became fast friends, soon discovering they also share a hobby of pushing the limits of what is possible for the human body to endure, both physically and psychologically. They established an official anti-rivalry, dubbed the Highwire Crown.

Players from the OSHA Violations and Seattle Sneakers routinely go on team outings to participate in such extreme splorts as:

• base jumping without a parachute
• skydiving without a plane
• upside-down tightrope walking
• jump-off-a-cliff-and-dive-or-maybe-die
• fire-breathing
• tire-eating
• burning-tire-fire-eating
• taco sword-swallowing

Members of the OSHA Violations legal team are avid sneakerheads, and will get hot tips from the Seattle Sneakers when exclusive sneaker releases drop; in exchange, the OSHA Violations legal team provides free legal consults for the Sneakers.

OSHA Violations in the Rainbow Cup

First Ever Franchise Championship

In Rainbow/Season 1 the Jersey OSHA Violations defied the odds, being ranked as underdogs in every postseason series they were in, to gain eternal glory as the first-ever Rainbow Cup champions. The championship victory snapped a 48-season championship drought brought on by the Curse of the Silly Goat.

Wheels Shamed by the OSHA Violations

In Rainbow/Season 1 the Fargo Flea Flickers attracted much of the attention for their incredible performance in the regular season, but the Mobile Wheels stole the show in the postseason, clinching the pennant in the Unwest League Championship Series with a commanding lead, and battling with the Phoenix Freshrolls for the glory of capturing the first Rainbow Cup championship. The Freshrolls and Wheels were tied going into Game 9, but both were stunned in a come-from-behind upset victory for the Jersey OSHA Violations , who finally broke the Curse of the Silly Goat and captured their first ever championship, beating the Wheels by a single rainbow (53-52).

Stunned by their loss to the OSHA Violations and with their confidence shaken, the Wheels took a postseason sabbatical, and did not return to the postseason until Rainbow/Season 11. They finished in a strong first in the League Championship Series and edged out the Tucson Butchers in a tense, dramatic Game 9 to capture their first-ever championship.
